It’s Kinda Chic to Go Glamping

We think we can safely say glamping is here to stay. Unlike Fro-Yo, planking, and even NFTs, glamping got very popular in the mid-2000s and thankfully, stayed very popular. It is even kinda  chic to go glamping. And if you glamp with Petite Retreats, there are all kinds of ways and places to embrace this glamour-camping trend. 

It’s kinda chic to enjoy a tiny house

You can call tiny houses a trend within a trend. Tiny house glamping accommodations became popular around 2010-2011 and they have only become better with time. The plus here is that they have all the comforts of home – including kitchens with microwaves, indoor bathroom facilities, ample space for activities and comfy sleeping lofts. Many of our tiny house communities even offer pet-friendly accommodations, so your best furry friends get to come along. Check out the tiny houses for glamping at Leavenworth Tiny House Village (WA); Mt. Hood Tiny House Village (OR); Natchez Trace Tiny House Village (TN): Sunshine Key Tiny House Village (FL); Tuxbury Pond Tiny House Village (NH); and Thousand Trails Verde Valley (AZ).

It’s kinda chic to enjoy a cozy glamping cabin

The upside of the cabin is that you really don’t have to worry whether your camping trip will include shivering in your sleeping bag or running for cover in the middle of the night for a warm, dry car. A cabin provides a rustic glamping experience and sound shelter. Cabins abound within Petite Retreats so check out our site to find one for you – to highlight a few, consider a New England getaway (Maine’s Mt. Desert Narrows Camping Resort and Narrows Too Camping Resort); the Oregon Coast (Thousand Trails Pacific City or Thousand Trails Seaside); or the Midwest (Arrowhead RV Campground or Plymouth Rock Camping Resort in Wisconsin.)

It’s kinda chic to be colorful

What can be more smile-inducing than waking up in a sunny cottage in your favorite glamping destination or coming home to one after a long day spent enjoying the great outdoors? Our colorful glamping cottages can be found in popular glamping destinations including Florida, Maine and Virginia.

It’s kinda chic to be unique

Have you ever enjoyed glamping in a yurt? Or a refurbished storage container? A glamping stay in a yurt often promises canvas walls, weatherproof roofs, plenty of space, skylights and a way to connect to nature without worrying about the weather. Our yurts can be found near Yosemite National Park (Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes); in Pennsylvania Dutch Country (Thousand Trails Circle M); as well as in Oregon, California, Wisconsin, and Washington State.  Does innovation and sustainability do it for you? If so, check out the tiny house containers for a glamping stay when visiting the Wisconsin Dells area and book a glamping stay at Yukon Trails Tiny House Container Village and enjoy these unique glamping accommodations.

Outdoor Trends Gen Z Loves—and Boomers Too

In recent years, birdwatching has become not just an outdoor activity that appeals to the Baby Boomers. Of course, once you get the “screen generation” involved, a whole host of apps become available like eBird and Birdata, which opens a whole new world for the sport. So, what else is trending with the younger generation that adults enjoy once they reach “a certain age?” Check these out: 

Tidepooling 

The actual activity, now popularly known as tidepooling, has been around for as long as water and humans have co-existed. Tidepooling involves exploring marine habitats on rocky shores that can be found only during low tide. It’s a great way to see starfish, mussels, crabs and sea anemones. The only equipment required is waterproof footwear and possibly a backpack. You can go tidepooling when glamping with us at a few different locations! 

California: In Monterey, check out Point Lobos State Natural Reserve (book a glamping stay at Marina Dunes RV Resort) and in San Diego, head to Cabrillo National Monument (book a glamping stay at Thousand Trails Pio Pico).

Maine: Two spots in this great New England glamping destination (choose your favorite glamping accommodation at Mt. Desert Narrows Campground, Narrows Too Campground, or Patten Pond Campground) for tidepooling include the Bar Island Land Bridge and several spots within Acadia National Park.

Oregon: Cannon Beach (book a glamping stay at Thousand Trails Seaside) or Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (book a glamping stay at Thousand Trails Whalers Rest).

Forest Bathing 

The term forest bathing or “shinrin-yoku” as the Japanese call it, was coined in 1982, but the act itself, which involves spending mindful time in nature connecting with the earth, has been around for ages. Another trending outdoor activity that requires no equipment except an open mind, forest bathing when glamping with us is a must-do for mind, body and soul!  

New Hampshire: A tiny house glamping accommodation at the Tuxbury Tiny House Village puts in prime forest bathing space with a trip to nearby Odiorne Point State Park where you can get in touch among the maple trees.

Tennessee: You don’t have to find a full-fledged forest to enjoy the benefits of forest bathing – consider a tiny house stay at the Natchez Trace Tiny House Village and head to Cheekwood Estate and Gardens which has more than 2100 trees among this 55-acre estate. We’re sure you can find the perfect “bath time” along the 1.5-mile wooded trail.

Wisconsin: If you’re glamping at Tranquil Timbers Campground in Wisconsin’s Door County, forest bathing should probably be listed as an amenity as it’s a beautiful place to do so. If you want to venture further off-site to experience heavy duty forest bathing, head to Peninsula State Park and relax among the cedar forests here.
